“Oasis”

by Cory J. O’Neill

Collection: Great Western Plains

Balsamroot and lupine covering the rolling green of the Columbia Plateau, captured in soft morning light.
“The Columbia River is singular among rivers in the West. Running its course over 1200 miles, the Columbia has carved for itself a deep passage through the Columbia Plateau, leaving high bluffs overlooking the basin. Beautiful wildflower displays can be found along these wild bluffs, bringing inspiration and peace to the occasional visitor.“

Cory O’Neill is a landscape and wilderness photographer from Central Oregon. His love of wild lands began as a young boy, through many camping trips, outings and hikes with his family. At the age of sixteen, Cory began working summers as a guide for R. M. Pyles Boys Camp, a wilderness based adventure program in the High Sierras of California. Each year, as he explored this vast land, he found himself transformed., and through this his love for wild places evolved into a lifelong passionate pursuit.
Through his work, Cory seeks to stir in each viewer the same wonder, awe and inspiration that he experienced while capturing the image. He believes that the wilderness experience is foundational to humankind, and the preservation of this experience—and thus wilderness itself—is his photographic purpose. With each image, Cory hopes to capture a small yet timeless moment that speaks loudly of the need for wilderness now, and the need to preserve it for generations to come.
